Before I abandon the project altogether, I thought I'd seek help from PCF'ers.
Here's the project.
I fell in love with the Tiger VIP1 cash $5000 chip (I mean, LOVE) (thanks @Jers28)
So I set out to build a 43mm tourney set based around that chip as my yellow T1k.
Should be easy, right?
I put it next to the blaze Tiger claw NCV (thanks @Jers28), that looks good.
Then I got a bunch of samples....and discovered that the orchid (V1) Tiger tourney chip looked great next to the other 2.
Together, the 3 of them are just perfection to my eye. They look like candy, but without being too crazy. Complimentary colors. I'm in love.
And now I'm stuck.
I'd like to find a T25 and T100 to finish out this set, but I'm REALLY struggling.
The Tiger T25 looks decent (I'm not in love, wish the green had a little more saturation, but it's not bad either). It seems to go with the other 3 chips. But after that, I'm REALLY stuck.
I can't find a T100 to save my life. I don't think any of the 43mm black or grey Tiger chips look good here.
I bought a rack of RPC $100 to test that out. With the spot colors, I think it fits the set really well, and they soften up the black base, so it isn't such a harsh contrast with the other chips.
I could get behind this line-up, I think. EXCEPT that the T100 and T500 have the same spot pattern. Oh no, for my only personally custom relabel set in my collection, perfection (to my eye) is what I seek, and repeating spot patterns doesn't cut it.
I've taken out all of my 43mm samples that I can find (Big Top, etc), and I simply can't find a replacement for either the T100 or T500 that work to the point that I think it looks awesome.
By the way, the sheer number of 8V and bear claw options does make it challenging to not have repeating spots (and that's not even the spot pattern where I'm having problems!).
I think there are enough awesome Blaze oversized chips that I could probably find a replacement T5000 if a bear claw T100 or T500 was a good fit.
Anyone have any suggestions, besides just giving up here?
Thanks!!
